What is the original source of hydroelectric energy

1 answer:

Differences in land elevation result in rainfall runoff, and allow some of the original solar energy to be captured as hydro-electric power (Figure 1). Hydro power is currently the world's largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of worldwide energy supply or about 15% of the world's electricity.

hope this helps

A 9.0-V battery moves 20 mC of charge through a circuit running from its positive terminal to its negative terminal. How much en

dem82 [27]

Answer:

E = 0.18 J

Explanation:

given,

Potential of the battery,V = 9 V

Charge on the circuit, Q = 20 m C

= 20 x 10⁻³ C

energy delivered in the circuit

E = Q V

E = 20 x 10⁻³ x 9

E = 180 x 10⁻³

E = 0.18 J

Energy delivered in the circuit is equal to E = 0.18 J

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510 requires about 9 half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs

A motorboat traveling 4 m/s, East encounters a current traveling 3.0 m/s, North. a) What is the resultant velocity of the motorb

Nostrana [21]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity in East, $v_1=4\ m/s$

Velocity in North, $v_2=3\ m/s$

(a) The resultant velocity is given by :

$v=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\ m/s$

(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m

Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{80\ m}{5\ m/s}$

t = 16 seconds

(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,

$x=v_2\times t$

$x=3\ m/s\times 16\ s$

x = 48 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
